Project woodland is a multi-season animated web series taking place in a dystopian setting where humans went from being the most dominant species in the entire history of the world into just a couple million people cowering in safe camps in the woods. They lost all sense of self identity, even abandoning the idea of calling each other by name to cut any ties that might be drawn back to them. The story follows 13-year-old 294, who, with her friend 318, leaves her camp and begins her journey to learn about the secondaries, the once humans now turned against their own flesh and blood in the name of power. On these misadventures 294 and 318 will meet life-long friends, family and maybe even help heal the divided world.

Juniper is a 16-year-old secondary, or woodland, who has a contrasting american accent to her twin brother, who has an english one. She is a bit of a troublemaker, and consistently ignores or defies instructions. She has a very headstrong personality, and with any emotional reaction she is very intense.
(Triumphantly) Zane look! I got prisoners, I told you I'd do it eventually!
(Angry) YOU! Where did you take them, I know you have them!
(Tense) Did anyone see y'all? I don't think I want to die quite yet.
Zane is Juniper's reserved twin brother who seems to know more than meets the eye. He was raised in a different educational setting than Juniper, resulting in any kind of English accent to contrast juniper's American (Although this is entirely optional). Zane has a very reserved, yet kind, rule abiding personality but underneath that cold layer is a dorky kid who just would ground himself if he flunked a single test. He is much calmer than Juniper, but not emotionless.
(Disbelief) You’re telling me you came all the way out here without a plan or a destination? Unbelievable.
(Calmly) If I can’t change anyone’s minds, I may as well join them. Now, let’s be on our way, right?
(Upset) Yeah, I'm a little peeved, who do you think you are, the president?
Randolla is the leader of the main division of woodlands, being Juniper, Zane and herself. She has no particular accent, so have fun coming up with her voice, and make sure you have fun with it. She is a very tall and large person however, so keep that in mind. She has very mother bear-ish personality traits. She is kind to people who actually know her, but generally she is very intimidating but responsible.
(Sternly) I know you just want to get it right, but just take a step back for a minute okay.
(Angry) Juniper Amourse! You are in big trouble missy!
(Relived) Oh thank heavens you're alright! I thought both of you had gotten yourself hurt!
Dixie is a animal charmer, and can speak to all species. She is a bit of a troublemaker, and a small figure. She has a very mischievous personality, and is a somewhat reoccurring antagonist of the series. She has no specific accent so, have some fun with her!
(Mockingly) What, did you capture the humans or did they catch you?
(charismatically) Well well well, who did you spy with your itty bitty eye? Oh, an irresponsible amity angel with a couple stowaways? What're the odds!
(Annoyed) Listen, let's cut to the chase, they're looking for you and I found you, so let's make this easy and you come while it's an option, m'kay?
Professor Albatross is an 80-year-old engineer who has close association with the Woodland Capitol. He is very mysterious and grumpy. In spite of these traits, he's still a wise man whose ran his course and can give good advice to the young leads of the story.
(Angry) You stupid kids have a whole lot of explaining to do!
(Foreboding) Humans and woodlands are both dangerous in their own ways, are they not? It's best to stay out of the way.
(Grumpy) When you reach my age you learn to be grateful every once in a while.
157 is a very stone-cold character to contrast the other humans. He's always muttering and giving vague threats under his breath, so much so that he ended up in rehabilitation for a good portion of his time in the camp. Personality wise, he is very short tempered and little things can set him off, and he's a bit of a survivor.
(Angry) You've trapped us in camps for over a decade and for what? Power?
(Under his breath) You're lucky I know who you are
(Sarcastically) Yeah, because that's what one does when being chased down by psycos who have the ability to light everything on fire.
